    Custom Report Generation

    Hi

    I am working towards creating reports in which the end-user picks and chooses which fields to include. Issues I foresee with this are:



    1. Formatting reports - every report I've created has required quite a bit of formatting in order for each individual record to fit on one page. How can I force Access to format it automatically?
    2. Displaying the options for the end-user to select from - my idea for this would be to create a form with a multitude of checkboxes indicating which fields should appear on the report. What issues would be associated with this?
    3. Others??

    This is something that I feel would be quite difficult to do, and likely beyond the current knowledge I have of Access and its associated programming languages, but I feel that it is a nice feature to add to the database. Let me know your thoughts on this; if it is possible, how you would go about achieving this task.

    Thanks in advance for the input.
